[[ OBLIGATORY WARNING FOR LIGHT MANGA SPOILERS!! ]]
my crappy little fanfic draft is becoming a headcanon galore, so allow me to share a few:
akira and yui may look like normal humans, but their body heat is significantly lower
sometimes when shiki is being annoying, akira will touch his neck with freezing cold fingers and he'll let out an embarrassing high-pitched squeak
shiki and akira spontaneously started having prank wars sometime after they started working together. inugami caught them one week in and made them apologise, but instead of stopping, they just keep finding increasingly convoluted and subtle ways to get at each other
i like to think that inugami internally calls the office trio "his kids" (it could slip out if he were to get stressed/worried enough)
shiki has insomnia. unless he's tired to the point where he's out as soon as his head hits the pillow, he'll overthink and fret over stupid things well into the night. he's usually a light sleeper
akira, on the other hand, could sleep through an earthquake
unless he's pulling an all nighter, inugami is usually the first to wake up after kabane, who is an early bird
since kabane is often bored in the morning before everyone else gets up, he learnt how to make coffee for inugami (there's probably at least one fancy coffee machine in that café area)
at first he would just quietly sit and watch his boss drink, but inugami felt bad about it so now they drink together while chatting. sometimes neither has anything interesting to say, so they either sit in silence, or inugami reads his newspaper out loud (we know he's an old fashioned man like that). mornings are their special bonding time
kemono office learns it the hard way that kon and caffeine don't mix well
shiki's hands get clammy easily and he's secretly embarrassed about it
aya and akira eventually become shopping buddies. sometimes they drag their brothers along to carry their bags
shiki is low-key afraid of yui. there's just something about the older boy activates his fight or flight response. he's convinced that, given the chance, yui would snap him like a twig. yui is completely oblivious to this. he just thinks that akira's purple friend is a funky little fellow, if a little jumpy at times
kon accidentally ends up sleeping over at the office once. kabane offers her his hammock while he settles on his usual spot on the floor. when he wakes up, it's only to discover that kon has migrated down overnight and that she is now sleeping soundly, snuggled up to him. he doesn't know if he should move at first, afraid that he'll wake her up, but then he notices that it's easy to hear her heartbeat when they are in such close proximity. he slowly falls asleep to the sound of if
just a few hours later, akira's phone is full of pictures of the two of them looking adorable together
kabane likes to play with kon's hands when they are sitting together. kon notices that he often lets his fingers linger on her pulse, but she doesn't comment on it
shiki and akira read each other's manga. both claim that the other has trash taste and that they are only doing it because they run through their respective stashes way too quickly. this doesn't explain why shiki can quote strawberry first love from memory, nor why akira has such strong opinions about shounen jump's lineup
inugami knows how to braid hair because he's just built different like that. akira will occasionally ask him for help with more complicated updos
kemono office has a family group chat. mihai interacts with it exclusively by liking messages
every once in a while, mihai will remind shiki of his failed gaming channel from middle school
despite claiming to be an "expert in matters of the heart", akira, the local hopeless romantic, is just as oblivious to people flirting with him as his brother is
that's it for now, maybe i'll do more in the future. blame @/plastic_fox_ on twitter for enabling me
